Frommer's Review

Coin and bill collectors will want to stop by this new museum, which is largely the initiative of the Banco de Guatemala. In addition to a broad collection of the country's currency throughout the ages, which ranges from shells, obsidian, and cacao beans to more modern pieces of coinage and paper money, the museum also features a few early instruments for fashioning coins and a hefty ingot of gold dating back to the colonial era.
